1 Department of Health and Human Performance 1 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE Jowers Center Room A116 Telephone: Fax: ( Exercise and Sports Science The Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science (BESS) degree has several specializations that allow graduates to prepare for careers in education, exercise prescription, health professions, management of exercise programs, and coaching. The BESS with All-Level Physical Education (EC-12) Teacher Certification prepares graduates to teach in elementary and secondary schools. The BESS with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Science prepares graduates for careers in cardiopulmonary, clinical exercise physiology, and diagnostic testing and programming for cardiac rehabilitation and other special populations. The BESS with a concentration in Pre-Rehabilitation Sciences gives students a degree that is well aligned with entrance requirements of advanced study in health care and allied health professions like athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthotics/prosthetics, chiropractics, or physician s assistant. The BESS with a major in Health and Fitness Management and minor in Business Administration blends exercise science knowledge with the management and leadership skills needed to direct fitness and health/wellness programs in commercial, corporate, and institutional settings. Advanced course work and field experiences are required for graduation in these programs and depend on maintenance of GPAs above 2.5 or Athletic Training Athletic trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, clinical management and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and medical conditions Texas State University has an exemplary history with regard to athletic training education. Our Professional Program in Athletic Training was one of the first programs in the United States to be accredited and has been continuously accredited since The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) has accredited our Bachelor of Science degree program in Athletic Training through the academic year. The mandated transition to master's entry level for accredited programs means that the last cohort of undergraduate Athletic Training majors will be for the 2018/2019 academic year. Admission to the Professional Program in Athletic Training at Texas State University is a competitive process that involves successful completion of all of the requirements associated with a Pre- Athletic Training Program, e.g., 5 specific prerequisite courses, 50 hours of directed observation, a formal written application due April 1st, a formal admission interview on or about May 1st, and a minimum Texas State GPA of Admission selections are made once per year, at the end of the academic year. In early June each year, the 20 top-ranked applicants are offered admission for the upcoming year as sophomores in the program. Once admitted to the Athletic Training sophomore cohort, the student will take six long semesters (three years) of supervised clinical education experiences in conjunction with a formal sequence of lecture and laboratory-based courses. Completion of our Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training qualifies the student to take the national Board of Certification examination and the Texas Advisory Board of Athletic Trainers state licensure examination. For the most current program information and a comprehensive list of all of the Athletic Training Program admission requirements, please refer to our website: Health Education The Bachelor of Health and Wellness Promotion degree trains students to promote health by utilizing specialized knowledge and skills in needs assessment, strategies to plan, implement, and evaluate programs, interventions, and services in community and public health settings. Graduates of this program play a vital role on health promotion teams in public health departments, non-profit agencies, industries, private businesses, hospitals, clinics and schools, as well as local, state, and national governmental organizations. Our graduates may also continue their education in community and public health, health promotion, allied health, dental, and medical graduate programs. Graduates of this program are eligible to sit for the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and the Certified Wellness Practioner (CWP) exams. Recreation Administration The Recreation Administration major combines classroom learning and on-the-job training in two career tracks: recreation administration and therapeutic recreation. Students study such areas as recreation programming, leadership, marketing, evaluation, administration, and therapeutic recreation. Recreation Administration graduates work in camps, nursing homes, recreation centers, resorts, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, fitness centers, and state and national parks. The program is nationally accredited in both recreation administration and therapeutic recreation. Graduates of this program are eligible to sit for certification examinations for National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (CTRS) and/or the National Recreation and Park Association s National Certification Board (CPRP). PFW Service Courses Several Texas State degree programs require Physical Fitness and Wellness (PFW) classes to give students knowledge, skills, and healthrelated benefits of physical activity. All students may elect to take PFW classes to learn new skills/activities, relieve stress, maintain health, and meet others with similar activity interests. All students may elect to take PFW 1301 (Behavioral and Social Dimensions of Physical Activity and Wellness) to satisfy their general education requirement in social and behavioral sciences. The PFW program provides a wide variety of activity classes that include sports, games, indoor or outdoor activities both on and off campus. PFW classes are for students of all ages, skill ranges, and abilities. Some PFW classes, however, are restricted to students who are involved in athletics, band, ROTC, and other organizations. Some off-campus classes have an additional activity fee appropriate for the instructor and facilities used. Contact the Director of the PFW Division if you have any questions about PFW classes. Admittance to the Educator Preparation Program The All-Level Physical Education and All-Level Health Teacher Certifications require formal admittance into the Educator Preparation Program by the Office of Educator Preparation ( mycatalog.txstate.edu/undergraduate/education/office-of-educatorpreparation). Please see for current admittance requirements and procedures.
